The paper deals with games and exercises to encourage proper articulation in children aged three to five years. There are various such games and exercises, but it is important that they are adapted to the age and developmental capabilities of the child. It is necessary to pay attention to the speech and language development from the birth of the child, regardless of the fact that the child does not yet know how to speak. It can take up to one year to pronounce the first meaningful word, after which the verbal phase in speech-language development begins. It is considered that the period up to the third year of a child's life is the most sensitive phase in terms of speech and language development. However, after the third year, development continues and the child acquires new knowledge about language and speech. It also learns to pronounce sounds that it had not adopted until then (at least not with the correct pronunciation). In order to promote speech-language development, it can be very useful to conduct various language games and exercises. One type is specifically designed to encourage proper articulation. Such games and exercises can be divided into different groups such as games with voices, phonological games, games with the tongue, palate and teeth, etc. It is necessary to choose the game or exercise that makes the child feel comfortable and that he can successfully perform. It is important to encourage the child, and not to be surprised at his failure.
